Monthly Gathering, Vassana Invitation and Special Dhamma Talk

by Ven. Higure Pannasekara, a visiting scholar monk from Sri Lanka

on Sunday, June 22, 2025 from 11 am to 3 pm

You are cordially invited to join this special monthly gathering. Traditionally we invite monks to observe their Vassana retreat in our Buddhist center during three month period starting from the July full moon. During this gathering a few families from Virginia and New York will extend the formal invitation to the monks on behalf of our entire community.

We are honored to welcome a renowned Buddhist monk from Sri Lanka, who will offer a special Dhamma talk on this occasion.

Throughout the Vassana period, you will have the opportunity to sponsor a week of d?na and provide other necessary requisites for the monks and the temple. A sign-up sheet will be shared on July 1st for those who wish to participate in this meritorious offering.

PBC is a non profit organization. We count on your donations to operate the center. Thank you.
